"The MyJustice report Personal Debt as a Justice Issue in Myanmar, based on a qualitative analysis of 124 interviews conducted in 2022 in Mandalay, Rakhine and Mon states, tracks personal experiences of debt disputes and how these have changed with the economic crisis and the disintegration of formal state authority across Myanmar. The report explores motives for, and sources of, borrowing, gender dimensions of debt, and the range of formal and informal remedies available when debt disputes happen. It illustrates a mounting personal debt crisis, as well as indications that this may precipitate the long-term erosion of trust and social capital, and an increase in the precarity of the position of women. Finally, the report recommends a range of short-term measures to help communities resolve debt disputes in the absence of formal institutions, as well as options for long term reform."
In a constantly evolving operational context, learning and reflection are key to MyJustice’s approach in promoting access to justice. Based on lessons learned from the heart of the programme, MyJustice has shifted and adapted its approach whenever required. Innovation and an ability to be flexible has ensured that as a programme we truly respond to on-the-ground needs. Between July and December 2019, the team spent time reflecting on lessons learnt as well as their personal journeys in implementing a large access to justice programme in Myanmar for over four years since 2015. These reflections have resulted in several learning briefs and blogs. Covering topics such as the challenge of measuring behaviour change, building trust within, the experience of managing an adaptive programme, the leap from legal awareness to empowerment, the use of popular media to widen understandings of justice and rights and others, team members have shared both technical and practical challenges and solutions.
The learning briefs;
In 2018-19, MyJustice’s partner Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) prepared four policy briefs analysing the potential role Collaborative Dispute Resolution may play in Myanmar in promoting access to justice and participation in the peace process for vulnerable communities. The policy briefs were drafted in the context of improving access to justice through community-based dispute resolution (CBDR) for Housing, Land and Property disputes in Myanmar.
